Is the deal finalized or is this group one of the ones that are gonna put their bid in?

Yep. One of the groups that wants to buy it.

Now tell me. Who would an 84 year old Southern man sell his team to? A guy that’s a Minority Owner of the Steelers, knows Jerry (Jerry has ties to the Steelers Owners), worth 12 Billion dollars. Or, a young guy that is worth 4.5 billion, and has a bunch of younger dudes as Minority Owners? Which one you think Jerry sells to?

Hate to tell you this, but when you dealing with finances on that level it's not all about the money...do you know how many times Marc Cuban tried to by an MLB team and they told him to fu*k off...

While I'll never say never, I seriously doubt that any group with Diddy involved would have a realistic shot of owning an NFL team. Even as a minority owner, he doesn't fit the NFL...Diddy's issue is he doesn't know how to shut the fu*k up and play the back (damn that really does sound racist as fu*k lol), but I'm dead a.ss. The other owners are probably worried that Diddy would actually try to bring Kapernick into the fold somehow or make some other political statement.

You gotta realize what works in one business doesn't always translate to another and the Diddy model is a turn off for a leauge that has to appeal to not just the urban crowd but middle America...

I think your conflating whats in there pockets with the value of the panthers. 1.5 billion the most they would go for tbh. If they bid the younger can put up more and even if he doesnt the old head can put them in an agreement with favorable interest rates.

The Panthers are valued at 2-3.5 mill. They can bid however they want, but I honestly think the Minority Owner wants it more from what I've been reading.

Says 2.3 right here....That's fair enough he'll just have to put up more money. Part of the bidding process at the end of the day money talks and I think Diddy is desperate so we could see them severely overpay for the Panthers close to 3.5 billion you had listed as the cap for the value
